NOVEMBRE NUMERIQUE: ANIMATION JAM 2022

Wrap up of the 2022 Novembre Numérique Animation Jam which ran from 18 to 20 November.
The 4th edition of the animation jam was another successful collaboration between IFAS and Tshimologong Digital Innovation Precinct with 65 applications from primarily South Africa, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana.
This year’s theme was “Rhythm” and was hosted as a hybrid event. Participants who were close enough could join the Animation Jam team in the studio or participate from the comfort of their own space via Tshimologong’s dedicated Jam Discord server.
The official 48-hour challenge began on the 18th through to the 20th November. The event also included masterclasses hosted by Aida Del Solar titled “Kill your Darlings” who gave insightful advice on producing animation short films within a limited amount of time by cutting out unnecessary elements - i.e. killing your darlings. The result was the production of 6 amazing short films, which you can watch here!

Thanks so much for hosting this 48hr Animation Jam. It was a pleasure meeting new people remotely and completing our project, "Too Noisy", together.
